What do y'all think about setting "deadlines" in prayers? Things like "if I don't hear or see or receive such-and-such by Tuesday, I'll know it's not to be" or "if so-and-so doesn't become a Christian by Christmas, I'll break up with him". The author of the Alpha books tells an interesting...

Depends on your definition of habit and what it is. Quit drinking Pepsi? Sure. Quit ballroom dancing? Nope.

I think of a "friend" as someone who is strictly platonic. I have many female friends - women for whom I have no romantic or sexual desire. Boyfriend / girlfriend implies some kind of romantic involvement. Some confusion comes from people using "friend" to mean everything from a casual friend...

Or maybe your ego?

My undergrad degree is in astro.

My son lives in Pasadena but we usually hang out in SM, Koreatown for dinners, Duke's on Malibu. He just graduated from USC Law School Friday. We were going to go kayaking in Marina but didn't have time. I did get him to go with me to a salsa club in Burbank Thursday night. We drove thru VB...

Just got back from LA / Santa Monica so I'll probably save my pesos. Maybe a long weekend down to St. Petersburg to hang out by the ocean, but that would be it.

I've attended mass a couple times at a local RCC and while they have music printed in the bulletin, there is no liturgy printed. I can follow the Lord's Prayer and the creed but there are numerous responses of which I have no idea of the form or content. Nothing is projected on the screens...

Ah. All bonding experiences.

My psychologist former ex is quite sure but I took her word for it. I thought it was pitosin that causes contractions.

As long as you qualify that by saying that you need some chemistry to get things started, I agree. Otherwise we're back to arranged marriages being just as good as "falling in love", no? Maybe even better b/c the crazy emotions aren't involved in the beginning. I worked with a rather...

Brilliant! :idea: Believe it or not, I just had this conversation with a friend of mine, talking about her current boyfriend situation and my dating history. For me "D" was almost purely physical, "R" was probably more spiritual and intellectual with some emotion but not enough IMO, and "P"...

I think this might be a case of semantics. "in love" implies romantic / sexual love - eros. "love as a friend" implies what? agape love? No sexual connotations. Or perhaps "in love" implies infatuation which eventually dies or changes to pair bonding. I continue to love many women while I...

Yup, that's called "poofing". The guy (or girl) is pursuing, flirting, dating, whatever and then *POOF*, they're gone without a word. I think guys use it to avoid feeling guilty - they don't have to tell you to your face that things are not going anywhere and they don't have to face the...

IMO, the responses to this thread have been great. I'm learning a lot here. And I am truly grateful to the ladies who've opened up their souls a bit and shared what they really think. Hey JD, I wouldn't bail on the lady just yet. I darn near walked away from a woman because I didn't think I...

Hmmm. Kind. Is "kind" good? Or is that like calling a guy "a nice guy" (= kiss of death)? Aside from that, I think I've made some grave mistakes. I've told a couple women I loved them and marriage was not remotely on my mind. I wouldn't have ruled it out, but I wasn't thinking that far...

Ouch! Tough situation!

Both sides of poofing (i.e. disappearing without saying anything) or been cantering along when all of a sudden the other person says, "Nope, it's not going to happen"? If one gets infatuated easily though, one should not necessarily follow their heart unless they are very sure it's not just a...

Wow! I guess I didn't realize how women felt about that. Thus the adage "Never tell a woman you love her unless you're willing to marry her" ? Thank you for sharing that. It was a profound revelation to me.

I hear you on the frustration. 100 ems a day is a lot, so you were clearly developing *something*. Her bailing out might be for any number of reasons, including something that has nothing to do with you. Maybe the relationship was moving too fast / too slow. Either of you playing mind games...
